jeffrey edwards

Sun-dried turkey mmm

Sasha M

Good Popsicles but most staff don't seem super welcoming.

Erik Fox

Best sandwiches. Avoid the lunch lull.

Owen Edwards

The best sandwiches in town, hands down. That bacon...

Geoff JRC

Go see my man Craig in the Deli, he knows his stuff. It's Red Barn so prices are a bit steep on some items but quality doesn't come cheap. The overall pricing is comparable to Thrifty's. Great staff, great atmosphere, great selection. My wife and I are stoked to have a Red Barn in our neighbourhood.

Barbara Lee

I was SO excited when they moved in across the road. BUT once I had done the mediocre sandwich bar I found the produce of poor quality compared to other local outlets. Apples in 2018 were deplorable. Now I make my own sandwiches and shop elsewhere. Not as good as I had hoped for. One needs more than great animal flesh and bacon to keep a faithful clientele. But the staff is great!

Tyler Kennedy

A place for health foods and great sandwiches. An excellent place to find a healthy snack

Nisa Johnston

yes a little pricier than most places, but what they have is great! Staff are lovely, sandwich bar is great and the store is impeccably tidy.

L8dyoftheL8ke

Great products and fair prices!

Wayne Clarke

Best sandwichs

Lauren Hafey

Daytime staff were rather unfriendly. Especially the deli. They seemed irritated over the fact that I needed to know the choices. Also the soups are lower quality than the other red barns. Selection is not bad but it seems they still have some kinks to work out

Evan Kurtz

Always a nice stop. Plus they carry The Very Good Butchers products

Luski

The Customer Service is very friendly and always willing to help especially the job business inside the store is very effectively amazing. The grocery shelves are clean frequently. The deli food is delicious and great for a lunch break. You will enjoy the Red Barn Experience! The Employee's do their best to keep y'all happy!

THE CABBIE IN THE #YYJ (MAKE IT VIRAL)

Would if given it 5 stars but barb was rude to us.

Marcy C

Can't beat the Red Barn for the high-as-a-barn sandwiches. YUM! Great neighborhood grocery store.

Marie Bakewell

Always satisfied when I go there!

Logan Cadwallader

great selection friendly staff

Ben “Silence” Embleton

Those wraps!!!

Barbara Soutar

I bought a bowl of their vegetarian chili, and it came with a bun. It was a very nice lunch. They have a nice selection of food at their food bar.

Barbie Zipp

Small, but has everything you need. Weekly specials are a good value.

James Munro

Truly the worst red Barn, old lettuce poor yogurt choice, maybe not enough shoppers, my 3rd and last time.

Philippe Hébert

A great sandwish bar and friendly staff!

Patrick Dique

Not that local- half the inventory from u.s.a

Veronica Greer

What an amazing grocery store! Great service and supporting local while having a great atmosphere.

Steve R.

Good food, helpful grocery dudes and good cashier -now if they delivered!

Simon P

Great New store with delicious sandwiches and ice cream.

Marilyn McLellan

The produce department is in serious need of an overhaul. The produce section is small, the quality very poor and overpriced. I don't mind paying more for local but when it's Mexican you are selling I expect comparable pricing. Several times I have come across rotting tomatoes, moulding jicama, limp cabbage, etc.,etc.

Kathleen Meadows

Great staff and selection. We stop here often.

Sharon Farmer

Awesome fresh made food..good prices excellent staff

Tim Munro

Expensive, slow, pointless.

S Bishop

Great place to shop.

Adam Gagne

Good sandwiches, good beef jerky sticks in the deli too

Eric (Eric Joe)

amazing sandwiches,great staff,wonderful location. lacking variety and selection

Terresa Lewis

Great produce, meat, and deli. Packaged food can be a bit more expensive though.

Jeffrey Osier-Mixon

Red Barn sandwiches are food for the soul

Tim O'Malley

Best sandwiches ever. Good soup too. Great selection of prepared items. I don't do my grocery shopping here, but they have a good selection of high end products that might be hard to find elsewhere.

S S

(Translated) It is a small supermarket. The price was a little higher than that of a regular supermarket because it handled healthy food. A sandwich corner was popular and many people ordered. (Original) 小さいスーパーです。健康的な食材を取り扱っている分、値段が普通のスーパーよりも少し高めでした。サンドイッチコーナーが人気でたくさんの人がオーダーしていました。

Gayle Schier

Great place to grab lunch on the go, service was quick & friendly!

Marc Lefebvre

Matt P

Good quality food at good prices. Parking lot is a little small

chris

no place to lock your bike

Nicole L

This is one of my go to's for produce for price and quality. Thier sandwiches are locally renowned for value, taste, and use of natural mostly local ingredients. They do cool promos often like Barn bucks where if you buy a gift card you get more than you paid for loaded onto it. I find I do need to supplement my groceries at other stores to get all the things I buy because I find the prices a bit higher and less options available in boxed, canned, prepacked food, and household supplies (random things you may need and can find at most grocery stores that arent food) but that's not necessarily a bad point just some constructive feedback for possible improvement.

Dave Neal

It's all about the sandwich station - I only go to the Esquimalt location - they let me substitute guacamole or hummus for cheese - veggie sandwiches are good here - prices the to be a little higher than some other local grocery stores

Dottie Smith

I like the new location - the staff are friendly and obviously still learning but they're doing a great jobl. I would find the only things that made me give this one less stars than perfect would be a) The deli/sandwich counter is always a mess, they don't keep up on cleaning it between sandwiches/wraps. b) personally i find the layout of the store a little confusing and every time I've been in there searching for a specific item I've always found it in the least likely place lol. I usually try to do a thorough search before I ask for assistance from the staff but found myself getting frustrated

Jason Vogt

I seriously can not get enough of their fresh sandwiches and bun-on-the-run's. They put something magical in their bacon, essentially ruining me for all other bacon. The generous amount of toppings, and large array of condiments, produce, cheese and meats make these a delight each time. Throw in portofino bakery bread.. I'm sold! What, reasonable prices!? Can't. Get. Enough.

Brandon Starcevic

The only good thing about this place is the bacon. I only ever hear about the bacon wrapped sausage, bacon stuffed sausage, bacon in sandwiches, bacon. The rest is overpriced and busy. This is a biased review because I hate long lines and paying too much.

Nick MacCallum

Great deli! Darn good sandwiches. Produce and meats are super fresh and tasty!

R J Hurst

Great sandwiches but they need to figure out a better routine for making them quicker. Line ups get to long even when its not busy.

Gregg Ferrie

Nice to have a Red Barn in the Esquimalt and View Royal Areas.

Loreen McDonald

They had a few local items but didn't have the lovely local greens I was anticipating. Probably won't shop there again. I was hoping for a true island vegetable shopping experience.

Janette Bonin

Good place for natural

james fisher

Always good service and prices are good.

Dragon Krux

The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is price. However if I could add an extra half star for 4 1/2 it would be for the good curatorial selection. Everything (except maybe the cheese puffs which I love too much) is high quality. Their sandwich counter is fantastic and we love their pre made pizzas.

Elliott Gransaull

I live a block away so I have a hard time going a day without stopping in. They have a great selection of produce, and the rest of the market is fantastic. The staff are all genuinely wonderful people as well. Great, I think I talked myself into a sandwich, on my way!

Mr Cowan

The sandwich bar is a absolute mess! They had no stock of veggies, can't hear the sandwich maker, and they don't pay attention when you call for them.

MrSteele1984

Wraps here are amaizing

Allan Chen

Good local quality foods

David Chauvin

Lots of fresh fruit. Good prices. Easy to park.

Brenda Marie Hamilton

Great stop for beautiful meats, spectacular Sammy's for the beach or a road trip, picnic goodies, fresh produce, great staff & service!

Steve Chester

Always great meat and produce from local sources!

Johanna Palmer

Good sandwiches and fresh jelly babies and licorice allsorts

GWoo

Nice new location, lots of parking in the area.

Rea Manguba

I had the wrap in many different ways and they are all excellent. All the ingredients are always fresh. I loved my wrap every time, but my favourite would have to be with the bacon. The sandwich artists are so amazing and impressive with how they could fit so much in the wraps and still be able to roll it up perfectly. There’s always a line at lunchtime, and it is tricky to get in/out of the parking lot but it’s all worth it. This red barn market has my heart. I’ll be back :)

Stéphane Gaudet

Produce is some of the freshest outside of a farmers market and the sandwiches are the best you can buy. Ps: get half-half meat with bacon and one of your choice; their bacon is unreal!

Money Bags (Scrooge)

Glad to have them there. Good sandwich's a bit overpriced tho... change your name to ol liquor store lol

Rich Martin

My first time visiting this place realy nice place great deli and fesh produce

Jon Sinclair

I always come here for BBQ season. Lots of great cuts of meat, burgers and tons of local products like bread and produce. It costs a little more but the quality is worth it.

Vic Clement

Good produce and other items. Great hours. Bun On the Run great to pick up for breakfast when in rush in the morning. Staff are always helpful and friendly. ????

J Taylor

Line up at lunch is really long. I am going to use their app to order lunch from now on.

Pat Dunkley

quality and nice price for organic avocados 99c

Cheryl Nelson

Very helpful!!! The person even ordered a gluten free bread for us that I was looking all over for.

connor9335

Don't really do regular grocery shopping here but the sandwich bar is pretty good. Healthy snacks are plentiful but somewhat pricey, as you'd expect from Red Barn.

k d

Carries some unique brands, good organic choices, expensive.

Gerald Huggies

Very Good grocerie shopping. DOWN TO EARTH, ALSO VERY GOOD STAFF.HAPPY NEW YEAR

Elizabeth McDonald

Great sandwich, not alot of veggies

Carmen Galligos

Amazing fresh food! Great friendly service.

Fred Gagnon

I decided to go check it out. If you are expecting a place with a good selection of affordable produce, go somewhere else. Most of the store consists of deli, meat and grocery items. The tomatoes and bananas were in bad shape as we're the bell peppers. I had to spend a bit of time to buy the 'least bad' vegetables. It wasn't cheap either. The deli and ready serve items might be good I don't know. The produce looks like something they put in there just to be able to say they have it. I guess those don't pay the bills... Parking isn't great either. I would recommend going a few blocks to country grocer.

Cassandra Greig

Service is dismal and, apart from some young part-timers, staff unwelcoming. It's a shame because I would love to support a local grocer with BC products. On a positive note, their sales on meat can be very good and the selection decent.

Joanne Maycock

Went to the sandwich bar around 5:50pm on Sunday, August 9th, with my adult daughter to grab sandwiches for dinner. (We were both masked) With one person in front of me, we each waited on a red circle for our turn. When I was called, I maintained proper social distancing to ensure my safety and that of the lady ahead of me. That’s when all heck broke lose. A third sandwich maker came to assist (a male) and forced my daughter to come between myself and the lady ahead, no longer maintaining 6’ distance Covid protocols. Then a fourth person started making sandwiches and by the time we were finished getting our sandwiches made, we were in a tight group of 6 people waiting for or having sandwiches made. Having just self isolated for 5 months I had a panic attack (internally) and just had to get out of the store. (I have asthma and a heart condition) I’ve shopped a few times at this location for produce and have been happy with Covid protocols. But the sandwich bar needs to be addressed and staff retrained in proper hygiene and safety protocols. The staff member helping make my daughters sandwich touched his face mask at least 10 times, contaminating his gloves, her sandwich and all the food items he touched. Unfortunately, this will have a negative affect on my opinion of the company and I will not return. And I love red barn sandwiches :(

J Nic

Wow terrible service no one was in the parking lot their handicap parking was unable to see yes my fault but it was raining hard an couldn't see it was stopped before I could buy milk is all I needed to move my car also it is so overpriced I went to another gorcer store to get milk for same price plus another week on the experiation will not shop here ever again way over rated and just a hipster store now they lost a lot of customers today

Thomas Malley

There meat and fish products r good.

Karen Shirley

All usually goes well, except when I buy Fuji apples. On the three occasions, at about three week intervals, the last being about a week ago, I end up with crappy Fujis. I have bought them at other places, at times between the times i ought them from you, and they were lovely. I was told yoi switched supliers but i suvvest you do it again. Regards, Karen Shirley

DJ Covid-19

I used to like this place... though they keep changing thier store hours and now they are raising there prices; once again apparently. Most people dont notice these things, though I'm not most people... plus now that most people are all baked, they definitely wont notice ????????????

Qwistahfar Ruedahr

Great fresh made sandwiches! Order online

Ray Widrick

Go for a wrap

Natalie Kelt

These folks make the best sandwiches and have good priced icecream. I like the new store in Esquimalt as there is a good selection of produce and meats. Over the summer we are really looking forwards to sandwiches to take to the beach for a picnic and icecream for the whole family. It's a welcome addition to the community.

Guillaume Allard Viau

Great food selection, they also make the best sandwich!!

Paul Onderwater

A great little market in Esquimalt. Great staff, helpful and friendly! Easy to find what you need for right now. Always has great organic and sustainable food stuff. The produce and perishables are always fresh and delicious!

Gene Bernard

Thank you so much to all the staff Red Barn market in Esquimalt for coming to work and giving me a place to buy food during this pandemic !

Kevin Walkey

Fresh ingredients is top notch when making sandwiches and wraps. Just not a place from a young family to do a full grocery shop.

Aliza1977

Great meets and produce! Friendly staff too.

Norman White

Best made fresh sandwiches around, awesome staff.

Monique Murphy

Great deli. Good quality produce, but limited variety.

Josh Mowatt

The lunch rap I had there was insane. The fresh toppings and meats delicious....

Nick Alan

i really love this store and shop there all the time. great to have a sandwich place nearby, and the ingredients are fresh and delicious, but for real, they need to teach the staff how ro make a sandwich properly. Too often the meat and toppings are placed in separate piles over the bread, so half of my sandwich has meat, theres a column of onions in the middle, and a different column of red peppers covering a mostly separate third of the samdwich. This also makes for extremely sloppy sandies that are very difficult to eat. There's no way I could eat the sandwich i just got in front of another human and not be embarrassed. it was everywhere! when i buy a sandwich, or any prepared food, i feel justified in expecting the person preparing it to know how to do so properly. i shouldnt have to instruct the sandwich maker on how to make a sandwich, and when i do i feel like a jerk. but when i dont i fairly regularly receive a fairly horribly constructed sandwich. Like, when you make a samdwich, imagine you are going to eat the sandwich, and how you might want evenly distributed ingredients/toppings and maybe a 6"-tall sammich is maybe not going to be easy to eat. end rant.

Greg Redding

Awesome!!!!

Kelly Corneille

One of the best sandwiches I have ever had

Rebecca M

Excellent choices, friendly atmosphere,and great prices

Ben Warrener

Fresh produce, great sandwich bar, best smoked bacon in town! Location is a bit small so it doesn't have the selection of other stores.

Joshua Evans

Great food and staff willing to please. Wish it was a tad cheaper.

Douglas Jenkins

Very good and helpful the service is great

William Stoffer

Too expensive but it's the place for organic products

Melissa Dauphinee

Fantastic sandwiches! Great pickles. Can't wait to go back.

Daniel Lee

Small selections however they are focused on organic type items. If you ever come here though, I strongly recommend getting their beef jerky batons. They are really delicious.

Marc-Andre P.

Amazing sandwiches, expwnsive prices though

Supa mic

Same high quality I've come to expect from Red Barn Markets. Very local and very well stocked!

Jason

Fantastic sandwiches!

Andrew Kell

Get them to make you a custom wrap! They are so awesome. Also, the bacon is the best.

Kevin Mclean

Bought a roast beef sandwich at 11:30 am.I ordered on white bread. The pieces of bread were half the size of a normal piece of bread. The bread was so stale i looked to see if had mold on it. I ended up buying a loaf of fresh bread and put what was left of my sandwich on fresh bread. $9 bucks for that . What a disappointing rip-off.

Logan Vachon

The sandwich bar is amazing and delicious!

Frank Robinson

Nice little market. Deli sandwitches are excellent!

Kellan Johnson

Good choices had a few good deals

Richard Randall

Decent selection...good produce. Priced a little high though.

Peter Green

Interesting selection. Good place to go if you missed your farmer's market trip this week

Austin Warren

Sandwiches!!!

Paul Scotthorne

Excellent.....amazing wraps!!!

Francois Villeneuve

Best lunch sandwiches!

Caroline Wylie

I love your store for food but was very disappointed when I went in last night because I needed feminine products (you only had tampons and one brand). I get it, I didn't expect much but it's bad when the gas station across the street the street has a better selection.

B.C. Simpson

Amazing local grocer. Great produce selection with local and organic options. A large deli with lots of options and delicious made to order sandwiches and wraps.

Jer Nic

The meat is good everything else is overpriced their produce is rotting and its the same quality if not the same provider as country grocer down the street lots of non locals stuff unless is packaged disgusted that they are going the way of the root cellar will not shop here again I'll make the drive up Island the the actual farmers market where thing are fresh good prices and they don't gouge your wallets shame on them they started so great but got greedy. Update, just got some soup from there it was labeled as mushroom but when the lady started pouring it into the container it was clearly not mushroom soup asked her about it she guaranteed it was mushroom said it just looks different and it would taste like mushroom but nope it was tomato I knew it from the beginning can't believe they would blatantly lie to customers like that.

David Fillion

Meat and Deli section are excellent

Adam Pakvis

Great food. The deli staff friendliness can be hit or miss. Most are really good.

David Harris

Great sandwiches and wraps!

Kim Tipper

Pretty good

Lorna Walker

I am visiting from out of town and went to the Red Barn market to pick up sandwiches with my sister in law and my brother. (My brother has special needs and needs time to process and ask questions) I did not find out until we were leaving the store that the particular server from the sandwich counter who served us was near the end of her shift, which should never be any reason or excuse for the foul behavior she displayed. She was very rude and short with us, impatient if we asked any questions about the process, demanding and demeaning toward my sister in law and brother when addressing us, physically took a pizza menu out of my sister in law's hands and moved it to where she could not look at it. My brother asked for bacon to be added to his sandwich, our choice and we were willing to pay extra for the bacon. Her response was one or the other only. He never got the bacon. She left the sandwich area before we had even been given our order, we had to ask another server to give us our order. That server was polite and respectful while doing so, hence the only star I am giving. My brother felt disrespected, put down and not listened to, my sister in law felt like she had been treated like a child and "slapped", and I am angry. If she is not happy with her job and interacting with everyone who shops at the Market, maybe it is not the job for her.

Brayden

Great produce and local meats. Check the flyer for sales, as their sales on meat are often better than other stores.

shirley westwood

Prices little high but many unusual products

Samuel Gagné

Amazing sandwiches

Montana Davies

Just got a great wrap, the girl making it was so sweet and nice. Great customer service.

Joshua Neetz

Awesome sandwiches and wraps made to order with fresh veggies for less than $7, yaaass

Dani Kong

Really bad. Veg is very often past its prime yet carries a premium price. Discovered bread to be mouldy when I got it home more than once. Started only going for the sandwich bar but the staff is incompetent and the last straw was chipping my tooth on a rock in the veg! Hard pass. Stick to the West Saanich or Vanalman locations.

Sandra Nickel

Helpful, fast, pleasant service, good displays, beautiful produce, and great meat selections!
